FAQs

What is Tiger Eye stone known for?

Tiger Eye is often associated with courage, protection, and good luck. Its name comes from its unique chatoyancy, a shimmering effect caused by light reflecting off parallel mineral fibers, resembling the eye of a tiger.

Are these stones suitable for children?

While beautiful, tumbled stones can be a choking hazard for very young children. Adult supervision is recommended if children are handling or using them for crafts.

How should I clean my Tiger Eye tumble stones?

Wipe them gently with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid using harsh chemicals or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage the stone's polish or structure.

What does 'tumbled' mean for a stone?

Tumbled stones are natural stones that have been processed in a rock tumbler. This process rounds off sharp edges and creates a smooth, polished surface, enhancing their natural beauty.

Can I use these stones in water features or aquariums?

It is generally not recommended to place tumbled stones in aquariums without confirming their inertness, as some stones can alter water chemistry. For simple water features, ensure they are cleaned thoroughly first.

What is the average size of these stones?

Each stone measures approximately 20mm to 30mm in size.

How many stones are in a bag?

Each bag contains approximately 24 Tiger Eye tumble stones.

Troubleshooting

Stones arrive with significant color or pattern differences

This is normal for natural gemstones. Embrace the uniqueness of each stone, or contact the retailer if the variations are extreme or not as expected based on product descriptions.

Surface appears dull or smudged

Gently clean the stone with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Ensure the cloth is clean and free of abrasive particles.

Stone chips or cracks during crafting

Handle stones with care during drilling or setting. Use appropriate tools and techniques for gemstone working. Minor chips can sometimes be smoothed or incorporated into the design.
